    Looking to get some insight on several Funky Buddha beers and what it takes to snag a particular few: MBCP, Last Snow, other recent special release bottles. I realize the latter is very vague but I can't quite figure out what's been bottled and what hasn't. Take Last Buffalo in the Park for example, from everything I can tell it was draft only, however, if not I'd obviously love to try and trade for it.

    In terms of my end, I have a number of different Cantillon bottles (Fou, LPG, Iris, Kriek, etc.) as well as Bourbon County variant vintages that'd I'd be willing to shell out. I guess to start I was wondering what you see as a reasonable offer for MBCP and/or Last Snow?

    I appreciate the help! Cheers!

    Quick info:
    MBCP - Jan 2015 - 10k+ bottles - 4pp brewery only $15 per bottle
    Last Snow - Feb 2015 - 2 pp brewery $10 per bottle + South FL distro + a few weeks later Central FL distro ($10-$12)
    French Toast 2015 - Imperial club release only - not sold at brewery to public - no distro (except there are a few kegs out and about with at least one filling crowler/growlers)
    Last Buffalo in the Park - kegs only at the moment - BA Snowed in will be bottled - no solid info on release size/type
    Iron and Barley - wine BA barleywine - 1pp $20 brewery only - not sure on bottle count

    As far as trading? depends on who you ask.

    You also have:
    Cabernet BA Nikoli Vourloff Imperial Stout (Imperial Bottle 2015 Option B) - If you are a member who opted not to get your 1-3 bottle allotment of French Toast (1 free with the option to purchase 2 additional for $15 each), you were offered 1 bottle of BA Cab Vourloff 22 oz bottle with the option to purchase ZERO additional (of either imperial bottle). I would say maybe 20 of the 150 members opted for this...so there might be 20-25 bottles of this actually bottled....#WhalezBro
    Verruca Snozzberry Gose - 2014 Founders Club (imperial Club) release - 150 bottles, 1 per member - Imperial club release only - not sold at brewery to public - no distro
    Triple Triple - A 3x barreled Belgium tripel - 500 bottles 1 per person $20 - Brewery Only, no distro (sold out that night)
    More Moro - (April 2014) Blood Orange IPA 22 oz Bombers - 2,000ish bottles 1 per person $12 - Brewery Only, no bottle distro (sold out next day)
    Nib Smuggler - (March 2014) Chocolate Milke Porter 22oz Bombers - 700 bottles 2 per person $12 - Brewery Only (sold out that night) (possibly infected)
    BA Muy Bonita - (July 2014) Barrel Aged Apple Pie Brown Ale 22 oz Bombers - 3,000ish bottles 2 per person $25 - Brewery Only (possible infected)
    Blueberry Cobbler - (August 2014) Blueberry Flavored wheat beer - 5,000ish bottles 5 per person $12 - Brewery Only, no bottle distro (possibly infected) (sold out next day)

    I don't see why someone wouldn't trade you a MBCP or Last Snow for any of those Cantillons or Bourbon County vintages if they have them sitting around. I don't have any left now unfortunately, but I ended up previously with 5 bottles of each. Drank 3 of each and traded the other 2. I traded a Last Snow and MBCP for a Bourbon County Vanilla Rye, which was basically an even trade (Last Snow $10 + MBCP $15 = $25 Vanilla Rye) but I knew from previous dealings that my trader would throw in tons of awesome extras which he did. I also traded a Last Snow and MBCP to another guy who came down from Chicago and brought me a few Pipeworks IPAs and New Glarus fruit beers that I wanted to try. Usually with the people I trade with we each state what we paid for the beers and then try to get the dollar amounts as close as possible for each person. I think if somebody is trying to get you to trade them twice the amount ($) in beer for the rarity of MBCP or Last Snow (not as rare) then I would try and find someone else to deal with.
